Spicy Italian Spaghetti

To start on the right food, I meant, foot, my boyfriend requested to have Spaghetti (his fave pasta dish) for breakfast. You see, I don't really know how to cook that's why I do my own recipe research and try the dishes on my own. This is actually the second time that I am cooking Spaghetti. The first one was a bit different than this one but according to the people who tried it out, it was also delish! (or maybe they were just being too kind to me ;D) I will most probably post my other Spaghetti dish in the future but for the meantime...

here it is!

200 g of Spaghetti pasta
oil
salt
butter
a cup of water
200 g instant Italian sauce (I used Del Monte)
3 tsp of pepper (powdered)
2 tsp of dried basil
chili flakes
1 medium onion (minced)
half a clove of garlic (crushed then minced)
a can of vienna sausages (I used Libby's, sliced into rings)
cheese

Pasta:

- Boil a pot of water (enough for the pasta)
- Once it's boiling, put the pasta in and add a pinch of salt and oil (use the oil's bottle cap to measure)
- Mix the pasta every once in a while to make sure they don't stick together.

TIP: For you to know if the pasta is really cooked, carefully get a string of pasta and cut it in half, if there's a white dot in the middle, it means it's still raw.

Sauce:

- Melt the butter in a pan (depends on how much butter you'd like)
- Fry the sausages in the butter.
- Then, put the garlic in.
- Once the garlic has a bit of brown on the edges (don't burn or toast them too much!), put the onions in.
- Once the onions are a bit transparent, add the chili flakes, pepper and dried basil in and let it simmer for about 3 minutes.
- Add the instant spaghetti sauce and add a cup of water into the mixture. Let it simmer.

Plate the pasta and put some sauce. Just put some cheese on top and VIOLA! You just made spicy Italian Spaghetti!

This recipe makes 4-5 servings.

This would perfectly match with garlic bread. It's great with either cheddar or Parmesan cheese. My boyfriend (my greatest critic) says it tastes classy and it's really delicious! He thought it just missed the ground beef but he actually ate 3 of the 4 servings. So I guess that's enough proof that it's worth the try. The amount of chili flakes and pepper depend on your taste. I'm not a Spaghetti lover so I thought of making this dish spicy to get rid of the boredom in the usual.

Try it out and let me know what you think about it.
